IPbF37, traditional media, 1970s \(photojournalism\), CCD Effect, Maija Kalnina,
The scene captures Maija Kalnina, a petite, pale-skinned woman with long, flowing auburn-red hair styled into soft retro waves cascading over her shoulders. She stands gracefully in the center of a sunlit 1970s living room. The lighting is a warm golden hue, streaming in through sheer curtains, creating a soft high-key effect that enhances her delicate features—her expressive gray-green eyes gazing slightly upward toward the light source. She wears a Peter Pan collar blouse in pastel yellow paired with a pleated white mini skirt, accentuated by pastel pink hold-up stockings with subtle lace trim. Her platform stiletto mules, transparent with a black sole, add a whimsical yet grounded touch.
The composition is expertly framed, using a 50mm prime lens with a shallow depth of field to isolate her figure against the softly blurred background. Negative space is utilized to the left, drawing attention to the vintage elements—a rotary phone and a vase of daisies—on a small wooden side table. Her pose is relaxed yet elegant, with one foot slightly forward, the toe pointed, her hands gently clasping a light yellow beret. The subtle pastel tones of her outfit contrast beautifully with the warm wood and beige backdrop, blending innocence with approachable sophistication.
